I don't believe it is related to this patch, but while testing, I
tried running "find /proc | xargs cat" and "find /proc | xargs head"
and "find /proc | xargs tail" and "ls -aR /" all at once. Everything
seemed to be running great. Firefox continued to be highly
responsive. I did notice that one of the command line processes had
stopped scrolling text. After sending my approval message just now, I
killed all the command line processes. Then I noticed that the
frequency scaling monitor remained pegged for both CPUs in my Duo 2
Core processor. I ran top, and everything looked okay. As far as I
can tell, top thinks the CPU is mostly idling. However, as I write
this my fan is going full speed. I looked in my dmesg output and see
no sign of an OOPS, a BUG or and INFO message.

I just ran:
cpufreq-selector -c 0 -f 800
cpufreq-selector -c 1 -f 800
Now everything is quite and running normally, except that Gnome seems
to no longer be increasing the frequency of the CPUs with the ondemand
governor.

Not sure how to explore this further.
